I had a ***** of a time get the seatpost out of my Ciocc and ammonium didn't work so I put a blowtorch to it....aluminium cools faster than steel so it will loosen up that way. Took a few trys of heating and cooling but it came out eventually. This of course means you will need to do a repaint.
Hammer and vice grips. Only problem is one seatube is too big, other is too small. Good thing the bike show is coming up.
